Answer: (d)

Barricades are hastily-erected ramparts of barrels, carts, etc. across a street designed to control an outbreak of violence, as during a revolution or a riot. 'Barricade' should not be confused with 'barrage' (artificial barrier on river) and 'barrack' (building in which soldiers are lodged). Dykes are also something different: they refer to embankments or dams that prevent flooding of waters.

Answer: (d)

'Colossal' refers to 'gigantic' or 'huge'. When we talk of abstract things like mistakes, knowledge, error and so on, 'colossal' is the right word to be chosen and not 'huge'. Both 'abundant' (plentiful) and 'great' (large or big) will not suit the blank.

Answer: (c)

An 'irrelevant' issue is one that does not apply to the matter in hand. Options (a) and (c) would not suit the meaning of the given sentence. 'Amoral' means being unconcerned with morals or outside their purview. It, again, would not be the best option for the blank.

Answer: (b)

Answer: (b)

None of the given options is wrong when used in the context of absence of seat, etc. in the railway compartment. However, 'room' would be the best word, as it means 'space available for or occupied by something'. No room for idlers signifies inability to accommodate as well.
